Copper Roof Upside Down Suet Feeder

Made of all-weather coated metal, it may be hung anywhere in your yard

Rain-guard roof protects a single suet or seed cake from the elements

Upside Down Suet Feeder fits a single suet or seed cake in its deep cage, which is mounted under a copper-colored, powder-coated sloping rain-guard roof. No bird is able to resist this suet feeder as it glistens in the sun, begging for investigation. When birds fly over this feeder, they discover a single suet or seed cake ready to be devoured! Easy open, no mess suet cage is securely bolted to galvanized metal with metallic copper painted, sealed roofs. 10.5" x 10.5" x 2" high, holds 1 cake.

Suet/seed cage opens with one hand while in hanging position to replace cake easily. Includes hanging loop at top. See feeder accessories for hooks or other hardware to help you place feeder in the best place for your yard.

Cleaning Instructions
Clean and sterilize this feeder weekly during periods of high use. Use a small scrub brush (#811064) to remove stuck-on suet. Wash feeder with a nontoxic soap/water solution or a weak bleach/water solution (#77769). Rinse thoroughly with clean water and dry completely before refilling with a suet or seed cake.

Placement of Suet Feeders
Locate suet feeders at least five feet from the ground and close to a tree trunk. Most birds that enjoy suet are cling feeders; they cling to tree trunks in search of insects. The close proximity to the tree not only encourages suet feeding, but also protects the suet from the sun's heat - a very important factor in summer months when suet quickly becomes rancid in the hot sun. Since suet is a coveted item, it is eaten rapidly once birds discover it. You will need to refill often, especially in the winter. Present suet in a cage feeder or specially made feeder. Birds will find it. Before long, you'll see a steady stream of chickadees, woodpeckers, warblers, titmice, kinglets, nuthatches, jays, wrens, and other birds eagerly visiting your suet feeders.

so far....squirrel proof!!!!
I've been using this feeder since summer 2014. I've had a serious problem with eastern grey squirrels raiding my suet feeders and this is the first one I've tried where no squirrels have figured out how to get to the feeding side. I have it on a very long S-hook (~ 3 ft) from the underside of my top floor deck rafters so I can access it from the patio beheath. So far I've seen black-capped and chestnut-sided chickadees, red breasted nuthatches, flickers and hairy & downy woodpeckers feeding. And the juncos TRY! This is the ONLY suet feeder I have out right now as even red pepper suet blocks didn't repel squirrels from my other feeders and I've tried all the various suet feeders out there.

Might be squirrel-proof, but not raccoon-proof!
This is a very attractive feeder! The copper top is beautiful. When I first hung it, it was great - nothing but woodpeckers and frustrated grackles. Eventually blue jays started coming around and a couple have figured out how to eat upside down. Oh well - they're prettier than grackles. A word of warning: unless you've got hot pepper suet, don't leave this out overnight. The racoons have figured out how to get it out of the tree, they have unscrewed the top and dismantled the whole thing. I struggled with getting the cage open, and those little buggers take the whole thing apart with ease. They eventually took off with the entire cage leaving me only the top. I attached a different suet cage and it works just the same. I'm just sure to only use hot pepper suet from now on.

Good quality, well made, attractive
I hung my upside down suet feeder the very day it arrived at my house. It added a touch of interest to my winter naked trees. Sadly, my birds prefer my other suet feeders. None of them go near the upside down feeder. I haven't lost hope. Maybe if I only offer the upside down feeder?
